The 6–3 decision, with the court's three liberal justices dissenting, centers on a SC case involving non-abortion services.

States can now block the country's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money. The organization argues Medicaid pays for its patients' overall healthcare, and those funds already cannot be used to pay for abortions in most cases.

Conservative states that banned abortion are still fighting with Planned Parenthood, which provides medical screening for women.
